Adam's Burden

Kneeling, rainsoaked in the Garden Begging for Gods pardon A low gutteral moan Emerges from his soul No longer whole Mankind stripped of his presence Because of his offence No more walks in the cool of the evening No more blessings from above, No more bathing in his love One apple One bite Doomed to walk alone at night Creation removed from glory's light. He feels his body in decay For letting temptation have its way Oh how he wishes it could all go away He sees the future thats now paved He wonders if his world can be saved This guilt he cradles to the grave But he sees a saviour in another age Who will rewrite mankinds page The single hope his kind will live He hopes one day they can forgive.
